Pope Calls For Peace Amid 'Winds of War'
Pope Francis used his traditional Christmas Day message to issue a global call for peace, while saying "the winds of war are blowing in our world." In the traditional Vatican address from a balcony overlooking St. Peter's Square, the Pope called for a two-state solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and expressed hopes for the welfare of children caught up in wars in Ukraine and around the world.
